If you do not understand the prescribed treatment options or have any queries, please do not hesitate to ask your doctor.
If the doctor recommends further testing/investigation to determine your diagnoses or treatment options, it will be booked at the time of your checkout. When possible, these tests will be accommodated on the same day.
During your appointment, you will be advised if you need any follow-up visits or diagnostic tests. The checkout team will then assist with scheduling these at the most convenient time and date. You will also be able to collect any prescription medication required from the pharmacy within the clinic.
If tests or investigations are carried out during the appointment or on the same day, your results will be reviewed on a follow-up visit. In case of any abnormality, a doctor or nurse will inform you within 48 hours.
